Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers continues to be linked with a move to Manchester United. Various reports are claiming that Rodgers is United’s top target and one outlet even reported that the Northern Irishman had shook hands on becoming Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s replacement at the end of the season. City fans do not need to worry about the prospect of Rodgers jumping ship anytime soon, though, if his comments from last month are anything to go by.
Brendan Rodgers said: “I don’t even think about it – and that’s the brutal honesty. I’m sure the supporters are probably tired of it. At Leicester, there is always a link. My focus is always here with Leicester and developing the football club on to that next level, where you’re competing for European football and challenging for honours. Everyone here at the club, from the chief executive to the director of football – staff, players – we’re all very much on the same path, same vision.”
Rodgers is contracted to City until 2025 but that has not stopped bookmakers from naming him as the overwhelming favourite to replace Solskjaer – if he gets the sack.
